Part of my collection - 09/29/2009 09:02 PM
Like most here, my collection is always in the process of growing, and sometimes shrinking.
Most stuff here is my core, I doubt if I'll ever get rid of the things seen here, more than likely I'll add to it.
Almost everything that I have ever sold I have regretted.
Some may think it a bit tacky to just display stuff on a table & VCR, but space is at a premium in my room. I like the contrast of the NS items against black, especially the velvet.
One negative thing about this is the dust, doesn't take them long to get dusted up, so I have to dust everything one by one every so often.
Just did that, so I thought I'd post a few pics, while they are still presentable.
I got quite a bit more stashed away, right now I don't want my room festooned with NS items, as my daughters and sometimes their friends sometimes come in and I don't want them getting the wrong impression of me, as is easy to do these days.
So this little display works out for me well.
Only item that I'm pretty sure is fake is the Sub badge, everything else is legit.
Maybe I'll post some shots of it to make sure, I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was legit.

But honestly I kick myself in the butt over all the stuff I've sold off in the past and I wish I had some back now too. Like Skynyrd said about a core of items, I have one to. Mostly family items and some meaningful vet acquired stuff. You just can't buy the stories you know. Once there gone so is the story. 
The only memory of my friend Hans is a audio cassettes and his Iron Cross w/award document. If I sold stuff like that the stories just don't transfer well. Not to mention its like selling a friend off, well to me it is anyways.
